Conor McGregor news: Notorious shows off luxury Bentley in Instagram post

Conor McGregor has given fans a glimpse at his luxury Bentley in a recent Instagram post.

The UFC star is pictured leaning on the 2019 Bentley Continental GT convertible, which is estimated to be worth almost €200,000.

In an Instagram post promoting a new polo shirt for his clothing brand August McGregor, the Dubliner shares the snaps of him posing beside the luxury sports car.

It comes after McGregor slammed the Irish government's stance on ports and airports during the COVID-19 crisis.

The UFC star has been vocal about the coronavirus across social media in recent weeks, and has labeled the decision to keep gateways into the country as 'absurd'.

McGregor's response comes after Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said in a briefing on Friday that the majority of people coming through ports and airports are citizens returning home.

In a series of tweets, McGregor said: "In response to An Taoiseach. People who have traveled to beach homes in advance of Easter, have not been asked, but told to stay put! Such is the danger of this virus. With heightened Garda presence to make sure of it."

He continued: "The people you have quarantined with. It is not even safe to move with them. Your beach home or wherever you are must remain (in) your home.

"You make the case for the severity of Covid-19 by enforcing this, and our great public abides, yet then in complete contrast to this, you are allowing passengers enter in and out freely. Through both air and sea. It makes no sense. It is the equivalent of attempting to push and pull at the same time.

"Everyone, wherever they are, must remain where they are. Be it abroad. Or on soil. Even more so abroad.

"It is that simple. Nothing but essential supplies and personnel to come through. We need full closure of all our entrance channels. Everyone must remain put for the foreseeable future.

"Everyone is ready, and have been ready, to do this by leaving the airports open for general use, while restricting everything else, is without any disrespect, absurd.

"To do it one way yet leave another open, with the one being left open where the spread originated from, makes no viable sense.

"If a holiday family home is a place people cannot leave and must now make their home, then so too must those abroad.

"Everyone must chip in here and make wherever they are, their home. 100% of our airports and ports must be closed. Essential medical supplies and personnel only

"I would say food maybe also but I dislike saying this for the most part. We have the best of everything here. We can produce, supply, and serve every need from this great island. In fact, food = no go also. For now. All ports must close.

"Medical supplies and medical personnel only."
